There isn't an API in the git-client-plugin today that will allow you to access the list of tags in a repository without a workspace.
It seems like it should be possible to do that, since "git ls-remote --tags" will list the tags of the remote repository, and the git-client-plugin already has calls which use git ls-remote to retrieve the list of available head revisions (getHeadRev()). It seems like a new form of getTagNames() would be needed, with an argument for the remote repository URL. There are two implementations of getTagNames currently, one for the command line git implementation and one for the JGit implementation. There are unit tests around that method, so it should be a reasonably safe place for you to submit a pull request to add that new form of getTagNames().
